The Feeling

The Feeling,by Clayten Tylor

This book is an Esoteric interpretation of Emanuel Swedenborg's spiritual writings. It is written from a sinner's perspective as a personal memoir, meant to impart spiritual guidance, by example. It is mostly, a hands-on self-help book on how to "birth" the Divine Feminine Essence of Love.

The author traces the Divine, back to its original source as Essential Love and Essential Innocence, which begins in the body as a sensual feeling of love, and through the process of regeneration, becomes the Word of God. And by sharing the spiritual feeling of the "Word," as love, it becomes a blissful union with the Divine within, as the feeling of the "New Church."

The New "Church," is the perception of an influx of spiritual love flowing from within as happiness. But it also has a two-fold purpose: For when the feeling of love from a sensual life has been transformed into the spiritual feeling of love, and when done on a mass scale, it ultimately manifests as the true purpose of the New Church, Swedenborg's "New Jerusalem," the Brotherhood of Mankind, as the feeling of Heaven on Earth.

Swedenborg's description of Divine Order:
(Think of the Feeling, as Love - My sketch should help)

"Both in heaven and in the world are found two kinds of establishment of order; successive order, and simultaneous order; in successive order, one thing succeeds and follows another, from what is highest to what is lowest; but in simultaneous order, one thing is next to another, from what is innermost to what is outermost.

Successive order is like a column with degrees from highest to lowest; but simultaneous order is like a work whose center and circumference have a regular coherence even to the extremest superfices..."
"The highest parts of successive order become the innermost of simultaneous order, and the lowest parts of successive order becomes the outermost of simultaneous order, comparatively as a column of degrees, when it subsides becomes a coherent body in a plain. Thus, what is simultaneous is formed from what is successive, and this is the case in all and every thing in the natural world, and in all and every thing in the spiritual world, for there is everywhere a first, a middle, and a last; and the first, by means of the middle, tends and proceeds to its last; but it should be well observed, that there are degrees of purity, according to which both these kinds of order are established." - Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) (Universal. Theology 214).

The Feeling: Swedenborg's Quotes

The New Church is the crown of all churches that have hitherto been in the world, because it will worship one visible God, in whom is the Invisible God, as the soul is in the body.
- Swedenborg (U. T. 787).

To inherit land, signify to possess the heavenly kingdom, which is here predicated of the Lord's human essence, for as to his divine essence, he was possessor of the universe, consequently, of the heavenly kingdom from eternity. - Swedenborg (1817).

The celestial angels perceive the Word such as it is in an internal sense, as to affection; whereas the spiritual angels perceive it, such as in an internal sense as to thing.
- Swedenborg (A. C. 2157).

The reason why time appears to be something is owing to the mind's reflecting on those things which are not objects of affection, or love, consequently, which are irksome.
- Swedenborg (3827).

The Lord is always the sun, and essential light, but before the wicked he appears as darkness, for the Lord appears to every one according to his state; and so it is in respect to the church when it is in a dark state. Sleeping, when spoken of the Lord, signifies his apparent absence. - Swedenborg (A. E. 514)
